Egg Member 7 Member For: 18y 8m 4d Posted 25/05/06 12:58 AM Share Posted 25/05/06 12:58 AM Also Ive read the threads with peoples cars making a fluttering sound in the manuals.... Do the autos make this fluttering sound as well??But mainly concerned with reading about loose turbo and manifold bolts, dodgy discs as well.. Ive had my rex for over 10 years without any dramas and dont wanna be caught out buying a headache that ends up like an episode from the money pit..

geea Site protagonist Lifetime Members 4,320 Member For: 21y 7m Gender: Male Location: At the lights, waiting for you. Posted 25/05/06 01:05 AM Share Posted 25/05/06 01:05 AM Any mass produced product will have 1 or 2 slip through the system. We also don't know the full story on those cars. I personally have owned 2 XR6T's and I'm still smiling over 3 years latter. Most of the guys I know that own them are very satisfied with their purchases. Take one for a test drive if you like it buy it, if you don't like it buy something else.Geea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive never had a a turbo pipe come off. If you are worried about brakes im led to believe that you get better brakes standard with BF XR6T's.If you are looking at BA try and pick up one with the brake upgradeAll in all I love my car. Goes well drives well and looks the goods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive had my rex for over 10 years without any dramas and dont wanna be caught out buying a headache that ends up like an episode from the money pit..I have relayed this story here before... and I'll do it again...I know of a new shape M5 that has done only around 5,000k's and is on it's 5th brand new transmission, for some reason that even BMW can't work out the car has destroyed every new transmission they have fitted... now I'm not bagging BMW here, but pointing out a fact that every car can have problems, unfortunately it can be luck of the draw... personally I have very little trouble with my XR, the biggest problem with regard to warranty has been a replaced radiator, but that was replaced under warranty anyway...Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 25/05/06 02:08 AM Share Posted 25/05/06 02:08 AM Hey egg mate as has been said we do not know the full storey with these cars.But I can tell you this I have had no reason to complain about our turbo.As for turbo bolts coming loose all turbo cars have this happen and if the car is serviced right it does not become a problem.As part of servicing is to check these bolts.Do not make the mistake of taking to unknown cars as a giude to the rest of the ones on the street.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im running a replacement T5 manual with plenty of power and it doesnt make any noise. The brakes have been replaced with premos, other than that there isnt much that can go wrong with it... unless you are REALLY picky I think you shouldnt have a problem.
